A positive change I have made in my life is that I have become more responsible. I used to be irresponsible and not have good manners. I have had to do a lot of things to become a better person. I used to have friends that would always get sent to the office for being bad. Now I know that being friends with those kind of people will get me nowhere good in life. They will just get me in trouble. I also used to not have good manners. I would not say thank you or sorry if I did something. I would just keep doing what I was doing. Now I have learned to be grateful for things I get because some people could not be able to even get what I get. I have also become more mature. I used to goof off a lot in class but now I do not as much. - middle school student, NC
